3 seed

There’s not. You just have to win. But we got the 13 no one wants as a 4, and then the 12 that is the only 12 that can make our life hell because their strength on D is the worst matchup for the way this team is built . If people were impressed by Marquette’s ball pressure, wait until you see VCU.

You gotta beat teams to win this thing, sally. And Marquette is much better than VCU, find your balls.

I feel like people have forgotten this, so I'll say it: in the last 6 weeks we've lost 2 games by a total of 5 points. One of those was to a 6 seed in their building, the other was to a 2 seed. The same two seed we destroyed during that same 6 week stretch.

I'm not saying this game will be easy, but we're a damn good team.

They are 12 and 13 seeds for a reason. We probably got the easiest 5 seed, we could've gotten Duke who nobody wants to play now.

I am insistent that our resume is a 3 seed.
But I agree with committee.
Why?
We have lost most of all games where it came Down to couple last possessions.
If I a NCAA I'm thinking I can't put a 3 in there that cant seem to win a close game and did not win this conference nor make it finals of conference tourney.
I'm okay with seed.

You may be OK with the seed but I bet Kansas isn't.

Go ahead and worry: it's praying for what you don't want. See how well it's working?

Now every team will consult this site for game prep. Point out the flaws of other teams, not the one you love. You doubt that other fans send enough bad energy in our direction?

The guy who threw the hot dog will defend himself by claiming you influenced him against ketchup.

And if you're really concerned about Iona, then why look ahead beyond one game?

If you're gonna be an influencer, be a good one. Your baby deserves no less from her daddy.

Yeah Rick Pitino needs to come here for game prep ideas

Well in that case, hey rickie: sag off Hawkins and dont try to dribble drive us, we are too good at stopping the ball. Also don’t press us we beat it every time
 
Well, "should be a 3, but probably will get screwed with a 4" exactly fit my expectations, especially after the initial top 16 reveal.

I want that 13.

Hell can be a lot more fun than heaven, you should know this better than I do. By the way, we should steamroll VCU if they get past St Mary's.
 
Classic boneyard thread title missing a question mark.

Tips from Hugh Bris?

Do you want the team to take the game seriously? Start by doing so yourself.

There's not a single winning argument to the contrary. At this point, mockery's a cheap loser's high. And you know it. Recant, spinner.

If you think we got screwed, Cuse is a 20 Seed in the Middle-Earth Region. Rutty is an 18 in the Quantum Realm bracket....just brutal...

Look at the other 5 seeds. We could gotten Duke. This is a good draw.

That’s what I said. Favorable 5. Unfavorable 13. No other 4 is playing a 13 that’s playing in their home state. Should have given us Kent State and sent Iona to play IU. But the media is already salivating over the matchup. I always wonder how much influence TV has. Why are Houston, Texas and A&M in the same bracket? Has to be TV.

They have a worse record, are 14 slots behind us in the metric the Committee uses, and are missing a starter.

THey’re playing just fine without that starter, so penalizing them for that is weird.

They have a better Big East record and they have a 2-0 record in games in which both Xavier and UConn took part.

This isn’t hard. .

I'm not overly concerned with playing Iona in Albany. We could play them in New Rochelle and still have 80% of the fans.

I think everyone except Dukie V has us at a minimum in the final four.

They beat us twice, finished ahead of us in the Big East and went deeper into the Big East Tournament than we did.

I don’t think we even have an argument about this.

All true. I have no problem with it. But as I said, their 2 wins against us were probably the difference. If they split they both finish 14-6 in the Big East. I'm not sure how the tiebreakers would have gone between UConn, Xavier and Creighton for the seeds in the BET (all would have gone 14-6). But after seeing how the BET played out I have to believe that UConn gets to the BET final if they're the 2 or 3 seed. So again, the 2 losses to Xavier were the difference.

Fine. Case closed.

And now to the present...

Who do you think is better today, UConn or Xavier?

Who are you rooting for in the NCAA Tournament?

If it's UConn, when do you start?

If it's not obvious, why not?

There's a reason you're getting nominations in another thread.

You're not being attacked, you're being summoned. If you're in, then say so. This isn't hard.

The Boneyard turns its lonely eyes to you...
